| Abstrakt: |
Prostatic calculi occur very often in men, but exceptionally they cause an almost total destruction of the prostatic parenchyma. Preferred treatment in order to obtain complete resolution is either transurethral resection or suprapubic simple prostatectomy. We report for the first time a radical prostatectomy as a unique chance for huge prostatic stones in a 56-years old man with severe urinary symptoms. We perform a retropubic radical prostatectomy using a nerve sparing technique. There were no intraoperative or postoperative complications. Though radical prostatectomy is an invasive approach to treat a young man affected by prostatic stones and without prostate cancer, we chose to perform it because of the impossibility to obtain complete recovery with transurethral or suprapubic simple prostatectomy. |
